The Fallen Quest Bug?

Okay so i've gotten to the part in the game where you capture the dragon in dragonsreach. After struggling with other bugs to get the Jarl to come up to the tower I was finally able to capture the dragon and talk to it. Now it seems I cannot free the dragon to go to the next place because the guard you have to talk to in order to release him is not there, there is still a quest marker there, but there is no guard. What the hell is going on?!? This is really starting to annoy me. Is there any way past this?

EDIT: Problem solved.. I realized the guard I had to talk to was killed by the dragon so I loaded a previous save and I just need to keep the guard alive now..
